I went there with my partner in crime, Monica Hubrich the weekend of December 4-5, 2009. Here are all the records we saw. (Warning: TONS of pictures to follow. We saw too much!)
World's Most Inspiring Museum: Red-Cross Museum
Largest Collection of World Flags: UN Headquarters
World's Biggest Chair--I'm sitting against the left leg
World's Longest Second Hand (True!!!)
World's Funnest Fun-Run (Hundreds of folks, all dressed up in clever costumes. This guy was Pack Man and was surrounded by Ghosts)
World's Cutest Kid Dancing to a Street Band
World's Neatest In-Park Art Display. This picture doesn't do it justice, but these glowing colored spheres were very beautiful.
World's Coolest Mirror; this gem was a giant cube with mirrored panels around the outside
World's Most Dangerous Electric Fence
World's Quirkiest Swiss Waiter. Unfortunately, this restaurant is where I discovered I don't enjoy cheese fondue :(
World's Most Expensive Hot Chocolate (the exchange rate with 1:1, so this little cup cost us over $5)
World's Longest Bench (really!)
World's Quaintest Fountain and Christmas Tree in a City that Starts with "G" and Ends with "eva"
World's Coolest Tourists
Reenactment of World's Crappiest Street Bands. We were there the weekend of a series of races in the city, and there were tons of folks running, spectators cheering along, and several crappy bands that were part of the festivities. We timed our visit just right! Sorry I can't figure out how to rotate this sucker.
Looks like a cool trip! I want to hear more about the Red Cross museum. Write more!!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I take issue about worlds cutest kid living somewhere in Europe. Hello, you are an AUNT to MY kids! :)
I didn't say he was the cutest kid, or even the cutest kid dancing...I said cutest kid dancing to a street band which I've never seen any of my siblings offspring do (I'm sure they'd trump this kid when I see that).
ReplyDeletei should definitely go into travel reporting. i'm obviously a natural.
